-------------------------------------- Top Tube??? ---------------------------------------------
It doesn’t matter if you are shopping for a new complete bike or new frame to replace your old one. It is essential to understand the different specs on a bike and comprehend how each will affect your riding. With that being said, let’s talk about one of the most common BMX specs. The top tube.
Maybe as a brand new rider who is just starting out it could be more important to just get on a bike and ride. But as you progress you will need a perfectly fitting top tube to help you progress. I went from a 21″ to a 20.7″ and while not much changed, the control was way off. I was now able to spin fast but I couldn’t handle high airs or gaps to save my life. I quickly went back to a 21″ and noticed the difference in my bike control. It felt so much better even though it was harder to spin.
Now imagine a kid getting his first bike. This kid is really short like 5’5″ and his bike is a 21″. No wonder he is having an incredibly hard time with learning hops and spins. Perfect bike = perfect progression.
